Let Go

Leap fearlessly into the green horizon.

Take a deep breath and feel the brevity

Of this melancholy hour; the battle

Will be over soon, as soon as you let go. 

Let go, because mutiny against reality is futile.

Let go of absurd conjectures of possibility.

Life is happenstance; it is a wonderers paradox.

Let it be erect in its truth, its horror.
